[NLRS] WSPR on 2m

[Rob Jahnke]

Thanks Ray,
I have also been playing with WSPR as a result of your presentation at
Aurora.
It is a lot of fun and very informative.
Problem is .... there are very few stations anywhere in the Midwest (or
even the US) WSPRing on VHF.
I have been WSPRing with 5W on 6m off and on from Nov 19th thru Dec 1st.
I have 106 6m spots during that time .... ALL from N0QDS running 20W :-)
N0QDS (nor anyone else) has not heard my 5W signal.
We could Fix that with more participation :-)

These are the 15 stations who heard N0QDS on 6m in the last 5 weeks.
